It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Lorraine (nee Raftis)
on September 17th, 2020 in her 90th year. Lorraine passed away at the
Wellington Terrace in Fergus, where she had been looked after in the most
caring and compassionate way.

Predeceased by her loving husband Raymond (2012). Cherished mother of
David and Connie (Armour) Goetz, Kevin and Reona (Rogers) Goetz, Susan
(Goetz) and her husband Bradley Williams and daughter-in-law Wendy
(Biffis) Goetz. She will be missed by her grandchildren Lorina (Goetz)
Mahoney (Dan), Raymond Goetz (Julia), Lisa Goetz (Daniel), Reona (Goetz)
Richardson (Robert), Tara (Goetz) Carey, Melissa Williams (Steven),
Matthew Williams and the late Myles Williams (2009), as well as her
great-grandchildren Miranda Strutt, Liam and Aiden Carey, Scarlett,
Emmerson and Anderson Goetz, Lucas Gerber Williams and Carter Keating
Williams.

Lorraine is also survived by her brother Fred and his wife Mary Lynn and
sisters-in-law Gladys Raftis, Patricia Raftis, Hilda O'Hanlon and Iva
Goetz.

Lorraine was predeceased by her parents Patrick and Susan (Milton) Raftis,
her brothers John (2007), Donald (2011), sisters-in-law Mary Boyle (1988),
Barbara Raftis (1971), brothers-in-law Cyril Goetz (1973), Leonard Goetz
(1984), Michael Boyle (1998), Edward O'Hanlon (1990) and daughter-in-law
Jacqueline Barcley Goetz (1996).

Lorraine was born August 22, 1931 in Regina, Saskatchewan. She worked for
many years for Albert Reid Construction. Her favourite pastime was taking
photos of her family and combining that with her love for family
genealogy. She deeply loved all of us, as we do her.

Lorraine's family is also very appreciative with the care given to her by
the team of doctors, nurses, PSWs, housekeeping staff and all
administration staff at both The Elliott Community and St. Joseph's Health
Care Centre, Guelph since August of 2019.

Lorraine's family will receive friends on Wednesday, September 23, 2020
from 9 - 10:30 am with a funeral service being held at 10:30 am in the
chapel. Interment will take place at Sacred Heart Cemetery in Kenilworth.
